‘ northern “eff, “if"ufri “a e “flig' "f: "at of northern england and eastern scotla nd of northern england and eastern scotland seven or eight celsius at best. that band of rain pulling away as we go into thursday, some rain at times through the rest of the week. and we finish the week as we start, with a rather cool theme to it. goodbye for now.

limo hello. this is bbc news with lukwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines. at least 41 people have died as a russian passenger plane burst into flames as it made an emergency landing in moscow fugitive joseph mccann, wanted for the abduction and rapes of three women in and around london, has. police have secured a man in relation to these crimes. let's do a deal. the prime minister appeals tojeremy corbyn to resolve their

differences and help her deliver brexit. israel and militants in the gaza strip engage in a deadly exchange of rocket fire as tensions between the 2 sides continue to escalate. roads in the centre of edinburgh close to traffic as the cityjoins a worldwide movement to reduce air pollution. what inspired the man who created lord of the rings and the hobbit? we find out in tolkien. here what mark thinks of that later in the film review. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are parliamentary journalist, tony grew, and entertainmentjournalist and broadcaster, caroline frost. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the telegraph leads with the release of convicted terrorist and hate

preacher anjem choudary. the ft focuses on the row between spotify and apple over its app store service. the i features fresh criticism from labour about cross—party brexit talks. the guardian claimsjeremy corbyn won't be able to get enough labour mps to back a deal without a second referendum. the daily mail says three quarters of maternity units have no consultants on duty at night. so that was a quick flavour of some of the front pages. let's dive in. we will start with brexit. and that has been covered... i did say it with a smile. tony, kick us off? everything is in a mess with brexit. there was some hope last week that maybe this week would either week that had a breakthrough. government

negotiations with labour would bear fruit and we could move forward and find a centre ground. the prime minister has managed to upset the labour party by breaking confidentiality of the negotiations. she was saying let's do a deal, jeremy corbyn. the shadow chancellor was on the bbc this morning accusing the prime minister of bad faith and warning her that labour mps will insist upon a second referendum before they agree to any deal. that isa before they agree to any deal. that is a significant deal —— prop for the prime minister. she has said again and again we will not have a referendum, a second referendum but she also said we would leave the eu in march. what do you think about this? you can understand, and he was told to not negotiate negotiations.

in terms of confidentiality, for anybody reading this they will be thinking well, there is nothing new here. what is so confidential about it? he is playing a political game because labour are a as the conservatives. there are very strong leave mps who think it is their responsibility to insist that we leave. there is another part of the labour party, a significantly larger group who see a second referendum as credible and viable and will not budge until they get it. so he needs to have something to say when he goes on tv this morning and he decided to attack the prime minister. same story. from the telegraph. secret discussions on the second referendum. they are secret

ina not second referendum. they are secret in a not very secret way because like tony said, there is a subject of negotiations now with the opposition. on one hand, theresa may still has to assume a strong role. she is still talking about her deal which now seems a fairytale of yesteryear. but there has clearly beena yesteryear. but there has clearly been a shift in the sense thatjohn mcdonnell is now mentioning a public vote. last week we were hearing waiting to hear whether or not remi corbin would commit to a referendum. some thought that there was an agreement for that but another mp said that no, i am glad thatjeremy corbyn stuck to his guns. that is two members of the same party thinking different things. in theory, theresa may is now thinking that if it does go to the wire it may be that a second referendum will need to be part of this intense deal

in which case there are secret plans to arrange for it. but what a mess. a 3—way referendum. a second referendum, no deal except or... how do we begin to start marshalling the troops?! do you get the feeling that we're to the european elections? almost certainly happening. and even if there was a breakthrough this week the most optimistic timetable is to get it through byjune 30. they are definitely going ahead and thatis they are definitely going ahead and that is a major concern that theresa may has managed to back her party into a position where the brexit parties topping the opinion polls for the european elections and the conservatives took a serious beating at the local council elections and now, effectively, she cannot call a general election because if she does what will happen is that the brexit

party will not win seats but they will take votes from the tories meaning that in dozens of constituencies labour will come through the middle. she has caught herself now because even six weeks, she could have resigned, allowed a leadership contest to happen and the brexit party would not have had the impact it had. she has caught herself in a bind now. plus green brady turning up on tuesday, the same day as the negotiations. i don't know how theresa may gets out of bed... a scandal of bus fares. bus fares, railfares, it is expensive to travel in britain. but this really is a scandal. we live in london which is one of, the only pa rt london which is one of, the only part of the country that has a regulated bus service. londoners don't really grasp quite how terrible bus services are in rural

areas and in urban centres across the country. here is an example. it says that a five mile journey costs £5 says that a five mile journey costs e5 in london. costs £5 but £1 costs £5 but e! in london. london was exempt from and the rest of the country suffers. there are areas of manchester that have almost no bus coverage. and for all five companies in manchester on exactly the same route with different timetables and different fare structures. nothing makes sense and that is why one of labour opposers is to bring buses back under public ownership. —— labour‘s policies. back under public ownership. —— labour's policies. and those who pay for this are those who are most vulnerable economically. it is the people who have the least voice and are most affected. let's have a look

at the male. the risk of giving birth at night or on the weekend... people get nervous about going to the hospital on the weekend. stop because the corridors are horribly empty. this is an exclusive from the mail exposing the fact that three and four maternity units have no consultants. there may be nursing and midwifery and everything else a young mother would need that they are talking about specialist care that any high risk with would want to have at their side. the point they are making is that there are still consultants around the country but they go home and the majority of births happen outside working hours. clearly the left hand has not worked out how to cover those percentages. it is shocking if you are a scared

mother to be but, equally, that you could cut—and— paste mother to be but, equally, that you could cut—and—paste any nhs story. we know the nhs is heaving at the scene. this could be a&e or any other type of care. they focus on maternity this week but there are clearly problems. that is what i was about to say. most birth does not need an intervention from a co nsulta nt need an intervention from a consultant when things do go wrong it is deeply worrying that there is no consultant cover. it is incredible how nhs staff pull together over the weekend. everybody who has experience of the nhs are the first to go on facebook and social media to talk about the impeccable care that they get once they are in the system. no—one is questioning the devotion to duty. but perhaps that devotion is being

factored in. alll am seeing today... line of duty, i hear that. the line of the season and synchronised sitting. no? does it deserve all this praise? i think so. we all love a good programme we can get behind as a nation in this world of interviewing where everyone retires to their bedrooms and everyone watches tv on their phones. it isa everyone watches tv on their phones. it is a nice experience, a national collective experience. we seem to be entering another golden age but it has done the business, as they say, and i think the bbc will be knocking on the door and wondering what will happen in season six. i was thinking about a series

called bodies which is one of his earliest and it is amazing. so interesting to see the tension and the talent that he can create. that was his breakthrough. he was a doctor before he was a screenwriter so doctor before he was a screenwriter so he wrote of what he knew. but in a different scenario and focusing on competent surgeons he creates tension as well. i can tell you what happens. no, please don't. ending with the express. and then back to brexit. the incredible optimism of the daily express here of a new deal on brexit 99% done. it shows the diversity in our newspapers is a wonderful things and it shows there are wonderful things and it shows there a re really wonderful things and it shows there are really quite diverging views. let's stay with the express that we

are done with brexit. there is a certain picture with a bump and we are all waiting. we are waiting. one of these will be delivered this week. we don't know if it is brexit or the new royal baby. and this is the story that theresa may must be crossing fingers for. please can we have some good news? but some of the nation is waiting with baited breath. and this is royal history in the making. a mixed race child and by all reports we have heard that the duke and duchess are doing things their way. so many more headlines to come. i am just amused by some of the more outlandish stuff you find on twitter. people are convinced that she had a cushion up herjumperfor the convinced that she had a cushion up her jumper for the last six convinced that she had a cushion up herjumper for the last six months and just some of the nonsense that

people come up with.|j and just some of the nonsense that people come up with. i was looking at the footage of harry ‘s birth backin at the footage of harry ‘s birth back in the day and everybody looked much younger. but it was interesting to hear the stories that were thrown to hear the stories that were thrown to prince charles on the steps as he was trying to head back. one question was what does the baby look like? and! question was what does the baby look like? and i was wondering how we could ask that as a journalist? and a mixed race baby, people will be fascinated at what the baby will look like. there is a warning that goes with that because we know that the royal family press offers have had to police the amount of trolling that meghan markle has received. kate middleton gets it as well but she has been on the receiving end so ido she has been on the receiving end so i do hope that this time people behave positively. everybody wants to know what the baby looks like. mum
